Within skincare, lips are often delegated their own product category. Not only do they play a major role in our concepts of beauty, but their delicate nature translates to specific care to keep them at their best.

While there are dozens of lip balms, sticks, butters and glosses in any corner drugstore, many lack what is actually necessary to maintain the structural integrity of lips. At best, they provide temporary relief against weather fluctuations. This is most oftentimes accomplished through a layer of emollients, which rub off frequently throughout the day.

We agree that good lip care should focus on keeping your pucker hydrated, and emollients surely help achieve that. But with all the advancements in cosmetics, petroleum jelly alone no longer cuts it. Utilising products that contain a blend of emollients and humectants is key to keeping your pretty pout healthy.

Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment: Ingredients That Transform

Because the skin of the lips does not contain any sebaceous glands, they cannot produce their own natural oils to keep them moisturised. Which is why they are more prone to dryness and chapping compared to other areas of the skin. This makes external hydration and protection essential for maintaining lip health. Thankfully, as always, we have a solution for our cherished readers. The Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment.

Far from your traditional lip balm, at first twist, its creamy texture is reminiscent of a luxurious moisturiser. A base of Castor Seed Oil and Coconut Oil help form a protective layer onto the lips. Highly emollient, Castor Seed Oil helps lock in moisture and soothe dryness. Its unique composition, rich in Ricinoleic Acid, gives it excellent humectant properties, helping it attract and retain moisture on the lips. While Coconut Oils’ thick texture provides a protective barrier against environmental stressors, keeping lips nourished throughout the cold winter months.

And because the lips are so prone to dehydration, Auteur decided to add even more hydrating ingredients, ensuring the Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment covers all your lip care bases. Squalane, adept at mimicking sebum, replicates the natural oils which lips lack. This gives you lightweight, yet highly effective hydration. Paired with a multi-weight Hyaluronic Complex, the Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment is able to hydrate across various layers of the lips’ skin. Keeping unsightly chapped flaking at bay.

LipSculpt Complex and Collagen Peptides

At the core of the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment lies the LipSculpt Complex. A patented blend, it prods the skin to create more collagen. Lips are one of the main facial features to show signs of premature ageing. One such sign is “lipstick bleeding”. This dreaded effect is due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin in the lips. This leads to thinner, less firm lips and the development of fine lines around the mouth. These fine lines, called perioral lines, act as tiny channels where lipstick can seep, creating a feathered or smudged look.

LipSculpt Complex emulates the effect of natural peptides found within the skin, thereby “tricking” cells to increase collagen production. Increased collagen in the lips enhances their fullness, firmness and overall smoothness. It also helps improve hydration by strengthening the skin’s natural moisture barrier, reducing cracking. LipScuplt’s ability to support the repair of damaged tissue, paired with that of abundance of emollient hydrators, helps the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment keep the lips soft, plump and youthful looking over time.

Although LipSculpt works to create natural peptides within the lips, the inclusion of Collagen Prepeptide further helps to directly restore density to skin. These small, bioavailable protein fragments stimulate the body’s natural elastane production, which diminishes with age, leading to thinner, less defined lips. Collagen peptides help the lips by promoting hydration, firmness, and overall plumpness. By improving skin elasticity and moisture retention, collagen peptides can reduce the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and enhance the lips’ smoothness.

Furthermore, copolymers are added to form a flexible, lightweight film on the lips. This allows them to lock in moisture by creating a barrier that prevents water loss, while improving resistance to lipstick bleeding. Making the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment a wonderful base to your favourite lipstick.

Salicylic Acid

If you’re a skintellectual like us and love to dive deep into ingredient lists, you’ll notice that near the end, Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment includes Salicylic Acid. While Salicylic Acid is often used as an exfoliant, in this formulation, it’s present at a low percentage, meaning it won’t exfoliate your lips. Instead, it enhances the penetration of other ingredients and provides antimicrobial benefits. These actions help maintain healthy, hydrated lips and boost the product’s overall efficacy, leaving you with extra plump, soft, and smooth lips. And with Valentine’s Day around the corner, what’s not to love about that? 

Antioxidant Benefits

Just like the rest of the face, lips are constantly exposed to environmental stressors like UV rays, wind, cold, and dry air, which can lead to cracking and sensitivity. Their delicate structure, thin skin and constant movement further increases their susceptibility to irritation. Vitamin E is known for its potent antioxidant benefits, and the Tocopherol Complex included in the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment delivers it where it’s needed. Vitamin E protects skin against oxidative stress, reversing previous damage, whilst reducing the severity of future onslaughts.

And with penetration enhancing Bisabolol, the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment is assured to actually get to work, rather than just sit on the lips. Bisabolol is derived from Chamomile Flowers and has been clinically proven to improve the efficacy of topical ingredients, even medicine. It’s also great at calming inflammation, allowing the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment to be applied as often as you want. The gentle yet effective formula is suitable for use throughout the day. We highly recommend at least twice daily use, especially before bed, so the potent actives can work their best.

The Ultimate Lip Care Solution

Regardless of whatever you have used in the past, or whichever lip balm you swear by, we know for sure that the Auteur Definitive Lip Renewal Treatment will replace it. With its multi-targeted approach, we only wished it came in pigments too, so we can bin everything else.
